2004-07-26 - 10:42 a.m. - Star Wars....

REVENGE OF THE FRIGGIN SITH BABY!

That's the beautiful title for episode three. Sweeeeeeeet! I'm so friggin excited, and not just because of that. It's countin down to 5 days till Otakon, and I'm dancing in my shoes. Everything is falling into place and I'm walkin on air. Wait... if I'm dancing in my shoes AND walking on air, is that an oxymoron? Whatever! It's true. All that matters.

I gots everythings thats I needs nows, and I finally visit my daddy tomorrow. Weeeee! Then I finish up my own last min things (as usual), head up to Baltimore, have a hell of a good time, then come back to TN and see my man and my Star Wars friends, and celebrate the new title release and get mad ready for Dragoncon goodness. Sweeeeeet! Ok, repeating myself now... gonna go now. And have lots of fun. One more... weeeeeeeeeeee! Ok, done now.

Current mood: cosplay madness

2004-07-25 - 1:21 p.m. - paranoia passing

I'm officially publicly posting my new aim screen name now. People are still turning up that I couldn't remember their screen name and they don't have my new one, so... well... here it is

scifigal5123

If my original screen name shows up as online (or has shown up within the last month) it is not me, it is a hacked screen name and is no longer safe. I think I fixed it, but I'm so freakin paranoid after the original hacking and the chaos that ensued afterwards, that I just stopped using it all together. Sorry to anyone for the inconvenience, but hey... now it should be easier to reach me :)

I've also been joining a number of LiveJournal communities. It can become addictive, that LJ. But I'm still going to use this site as my diary. Found it's a much better preventer of "drama" when it's here rather then there. Ah well, silly stuff, silly people, moving on.

Current mood: not quite as paranoid

2004-07-24 - 2:50 p.m. - why comics? why?!?

Saw Catwoman...

Aaaaaaaccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Sucked so bad! Halle Berry ruined Catwoman. I tried so hard to give it a chance, but good god. Suckage! Now she's ruined both my favorite X-men AND my favorite DC comic character. I was almost brought to tears at one point. Ok... maybe I'm exadgerating, but still. AND THEN I thought that my goddess Sharon Stone could have redeemed it in some way... but then they blasphemously ruined "Clayface" by making him a her, a model, and a badly acted bitch. Why Sharon, why?

I need to find a copy of Batman Returns stat! Michelle Pfeiffer wasn't the perfect Catwoman, but she sure was a hell of alot better then this one. "Hell Here" You got that right Michelle! Oh well, I guess I should be grateful that they called her by a different name and didn't try to keep her as Selena Kyle. Le sigh!

Sokay, now that that rant is over, I'm gonna move on to Otakon. Weeeeee! Gonna rock hard core. Can't wait, I really really can't wait. I wana be excited about Dragoncon too, but I'm too overloaded with Otakon to care about that untill the following week. Rock on!

Current mood: blasphemy!

2004-07-20 - 3:09 a.m. - still not making sence?

Life is still slow on my side of the world. I'm busy busy busy, costuming and cleaning, but it's still slow. I need a nap, but I can't sleep. I need to see my man, but I have to let him sleep. I need to see my friends and tell them everything is going to be ok, but I have to take care of my own things. Life takes funny turns no matter where you go or who you do or don't talk to. I don't send "messages" to other people through this diary, I type here to myself. I don't have secret agendas, I put everything out in the open. I do what is right to me, be damned if it's a problem for others. I love my friends, I love my family, I love my life. Life is beautiful...

On that note, another promotion link for my "Dark Muffins Tribute".

Current mood: all twisted up

2004-07-17 - 3:12 p.m. - another week

Still not much happening with me. I'm happy with my man, having a great time with my friends, and gettin ready for Otakon. I'm a little indiferent to the world outside me right now. I guess in about a week I'll be more involved and opinionated, but for now... *shrug* No one's really calling me so I'm not going to think about it. I'm just going to remain content with my life as it is now. Happy day!

Current mood: inside

2004-07-13 - 2:36 p.m. - say what?

I'm not even going to begin to sum up this weekend. I'll only say that Star Wars 501st weddings are great and all the members are amazing people. Fans rule!

Otakon is up next, now that's gonna be just plain fun. Then after that is Dragoncon. I've gotta get crackin on costumes! I can't even think straight right now, let alone stitch straight. Woo, crazy times. Maybe tomorrow I'll post something a bit more thought out. Untill then, I think I'll go see Spiderman 2 again. Byeeeee!

Current mood: watered down

2004-07-09 - 3:24 a.m. - so today is over

Went to the doctor for the first time in 2 years today. Hadn't really gotten sick between now and then, but since I've got insurance, I knew it was about time I used it. Everything went well and nothing important to report. it was a great checkup really, and I'm glad it's done. The only thing though is that my arm is freakin killing me now! See, I had already sprained or pulled my right shoulder two days before, and the soreness has been effecting me here and there, but then they had to take blood today. Mostly for cholesterol tests and stuffs, but still, the needle was small and long, and when the (wonderfully glowing and pregnant) nurse switched to the second vile on the needle, and the blood stopped pouring, she jiggled it a little. No, no, she jiggled it a lot. Just a little tender at first, but now that it's been about 17 hours later, I want to f-in cut off my arm. You know that temporary pinching feeling you get in your head from a cold-headache, from drinking something cold too fast, right? Well it's that feeling, in my arm, off and on, all day. Arg! Hurt! Smash!

Oh well, I'll live. But then I saw "King Arthur". I really had high hopes for this movie, I did! I love the King Arthur legend, read and seen dozens of interpretations... but this time, it just plained sucked! Bad dialog ("look at my face, for when you die and look at it, it will be the last thing you ever see in this life", or something like that... wtf?"), horrible cinematography (how much smoke instead of sky does one movie need?!?), mediocre acting (good here and there), atrocious historical inaccuracies (don't get me started on roman ruled times in britain), and a complete butchering of the Arthur legend itself. I think the biggest let down for me out of everything else was this: After reading and seeing all the King Arthur interpretations that I have, I have NEVER liked Guinevere. No matter what writer, every version of her to me has the same flaws, the same girly weaknesses that brings down paradise. Like Adam's Eve. She's the story's scapegoat to why things finally go wrong. So when I learned about this version, I really really had high hopes for her this time. That perhaps she was actually strong and had a good reason for doing the girly girly things she did. And Kiera Knightly is a wonderful young actress that deserves every bit of praise she gets. However, now that I've seen her, I even with all the changes and alterations, I still have the same feelings. Gal-darnit! Should have waited for video on this one!

Now I'm heading out for the weekend tomorrow afternoon. Won't be back online until Sunday night. Everything that may come up between now and then will have to wait. Everyone enjoy their weekend, I know I will!

Current mood: contemplative

2004-07-07 - 2:58 p.m. - Story Time

So once apon a time there were these two girls, named Rose and Melanie. They giggled and played with toys and all was right in the world. Then one day, while watching one of their favorite progams on tv which made fun of the previous day's talk shows, they discovered their old host had been replaced with a new one. This young whipper snapper was named Hal Sparks, and all was right in the world. But alas, the bliss was not meant to last, for one day he just dissapeared from their lives, and the two girls were sad. The girls wiped their tears away and got on with their lives, untill... Some new show was causing all this cumotion on TV, but nither girl had the channel to see it, so they didn't really pay attention. Then finally one day the girls saw an episdose, and low and behold, their was their young dandy, Hal Sparks! And once again all was right in the world. With this new found fame, the super sweet Sparks went on to comentary on such channels as VH1, and... VH1. And still all was right in the world. Finally, the mother load. Now both of these girls are comic book fans, and when the wondiferious film Spiderman 2 came out, of cource they went to see it. Much to their joyful suprise, there... on screen, was the stupendous, tremendous, uhm... stupendous Hal Sparks, alone, in an elevator, one on one, with Spidey. And once again, all was right with the world, and the two girls exploded! ... with glee. "Hal FRIGGIN Sparks! HAL FRIGGIN SPARKS!" The End.

And now, that scene from Spiderman 2, as interpreted by Melanie and worshiped by Rose. Enjoy!

Current mood: exploded with glee

2004-07-06 - 1:20 p.m. - how busy am I?

So I'm doing about a million things at once right now, or atleast it feels like it. Oh, happy two days after the 4th of July. I spent it with my g-ma, and her satelite dish tv. Hehehe... I love my g-ma! Also, been having RPG withdrawl lately. Thought about re-installing Everquest, but then remembered it's 1)too expensive, and 2)crashes my video card. G-darnit! Now I've seriously been considering getting Final Fantasy 11. Some of my Virginia friends have been playing it and invited me to join them once I get leveled. Ofcource that's another thing that'll have to wait untill I get a job. Still working on that too, but hey, aren't we all. I thought it would have been a little faster, but that's my own fault for doing so much at the same time. Costumes, cleaning, cats. Ah well, I'll get to the right point eventually.

Also another busy week at the same time. Jon comes back wed. *gleee*, have my first doc. appointment in years thursday morning, seeing "King Arthur" thursday night, then attending a Star Wars wedding this weekend. Phew, gonna be great! Maybe I'll see Spiderman2 again in that mix. Man, I'm addicted to movies: "Hi, my name is Rose..." "HI ROSE" "And I'm a movieholic."

Current mood: busy multi-tasking like crazy

2004-07-02 - 4:58 p.m. - Dark Muffins Tribute

I've been doing some soul searching, trying to get all this negative thoughts of the past out of my head. Then it hit me, there's no reason the past should be neagative. We should focus on the positive aspects of the past, the beauty and wonders of what we've learned over the years. Use these memories as a tool to get through whatever the future holds. So I made a litte tribute (thanks Michelle for use of the art) to the group of friends we've called the Dark Muffins. Love should still be love, no matter what else we've encountered. Our past is the key to our future, embrace it.

Current mood: positively content

2004-07-02 - 2:42 a.m. - Emo-boy, Emo-boy!

Saw spidey2 again. Just came back from tonights midnight show. Wowie wow wow! I'm still smitten with both Doc Oct and Green Goblin. Spiderman nerd-villians, weeeee. And thanks to the ever-wonderful Melanie, I kept trying to figure out what the lyrics would be to the spiderman theme if it was "Emo-boy" instead. Miraculously, when he puts on his glasses and cartigan sweater, no longer is he spiderman but... Emo-boy. With all the problems and whinyness of Emo. Go Emo-boy, go! hehe, but I digress. (All you're fault Mel!)

Got a doctor finally, now I need a job. Shouldn't take long though, there's a childrens clothing store hiring with potential for advancing to managment. Worth a try. If nothing else, there's always some chains I can apply to. We'll see.

Current mood: optimistic

2004-07-01 - 12:33 a.m. - Nerd-gasm!

I just had the biggest nerd-gasm in my life!!! Spiderman 2 is soooo much more then I was expecting, so much evil goodness. I mean, I'm not even that big of a Spiderman fan, but it has some of the best villians EVER. Super-nerds turned into psycotic freaks, love it! Doc Oct was perhaps the best and most accurate comic book translation on screen to date. It's still too much for me to take in. I feel like I have to see it again, right now, except there aren't any more shows tonight. Oh well, I'll see it again, that's for sure. I can't say any more without spoiling it, although part of me wishes I had known a bit more then I did so I wouldn't be quite so worn out right now... I need a nap, and perhaps a cigarette (even though I don't smoke).Plus, Hal FRIGGIN Sparks and the always impressive Bruce Campbell both have cameos, nerd-gasms galore!

Current mood: super-nerdy
